PAGE SIX: CNN star called Israel-basher

New York Post ^ | 4/20/02 | JARED PAUL STERN

[Diogenesis]

CNN is routinely inaccurate.
Here is an example:

[xvb]

Andrea Koppel is stupidish. Most likely if her name were Andrea Jones she's be selling hose at some dept. store.

[William Terrell]

What's wrong with bashing Israel?

[xvb]

Seems like the only Jews you like are Lefty Jews who wish the death of Israel. Course you would not like them if they saw their way out of their idiot fog and realized the madmen who hate Israel hate the US too.

[vance]

Nothing, if you are an anti-Semite.

[AppyPappy]

What's wrong with supporting terrorism?

[tomahawk]

That's a great screen shot. They wouldn't know where the Czech Republic was if they were standing in it. CNN = Clueless Nitwit Network.

[William Terrell]

People that bash Israel are anti-semites? Explain, please.

[vance]

She may very well lose her job over this. Ha.

[William Terrell]

So, if you bash Israel you support terrorism? Care to lay out the causation chain for me?

[iav2]

This is why Fox is hammering CNN. At least she's dumb enough to blab her moronic views for all to witness and she will probably be reassigned. We've come a long way from Edward R. Murrow's honest reporting from the death camps in Germany. Now we have limousine liberal airheads popping off in the most unprofessional manner.

[Diago]

People that bash Israel are anti-semites? Explain, please.

Andrea Koppell may be Jewish, but she said something critical of Israel. That makes her an anti-semite. Are you new to the forum?

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

...or get promoted; or get a job offer at the UN; it is CNN, remember. argh!! oh, yes, her credentials are stunningly impressive. ONE course in mideast history; during which she allegedly read five books, with ONE being authored from an Israeli perspective. Yes, a bastion of critical thinking. Oh, and at the beige tower of Middlebury College, haha.

[William Terrell]

Andrea Koppell may be Jewish, but she said something critical of Israel. That makes her an anti-semite.

I find it entertaining that Jews manufacture anti-semites like gun control and drug laws manufacture criminals.

[Ann Archy]

Nothing worse than a self-hating Jew. Get out Andrea and take your father with you.

[Dudoight]

Mr. Terrell, it is the racist game all over again. A certain segment of the population can't think beyond that.

[Ann Archy]

In the e-mail, Blumberg says he asked Koppel where she acquired her insight into Middle Eastern political history. "I took a course on the Middle East when I was at Middlebury College, and our professor assigned five books" on the conflict, Blumberg recalls her saying. "So I first read a book written by an Israeli, and I thought all the land belongs to the Israelis. Then I read another book by a Palestinian, and I thought all the land belongs to the Palestinians."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa....what an IDIOT...she read FIVE books and she's an expert...an EASILY PERSUADED EXPERT. What a girl...no woder we have a reputation for being stupid.

[AppyPappy]

You avoided my question.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

So, if you bash Israel you support terrorism?

Terrorism to me is targeting and murdering innocent civilians in order to effect a political change. While not a mideast expert, I do not think Israel has a history of using terrorism. Israel has a very effective intelligence agency and a strong military that are used to target specific individuals and enemy assets. Under international law, Israel has the fundamental right to protect itself just as America has the right to root out the Taliban and al-Qaeda in central Asia.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I was told Ted Koppel converted to Catholicism, his wife's religion. If that's true, perhaps she's Catholic.

Anyone know for sure?
